“…It is thought that the reason of this may be the younger age range of the trainee students according to the staff working in the hospital. As a matter of fact, Ödemiş et al [17] stated that the AntiHAVIgG level was 16% in a study conducted with intern students working in health schools.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the seroprevalence of Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, Mumps, Measles and Chickenpox for all staff and trainee students working under SBU Fatih Sultan Mehmet EAH in 2018. Methods: A total of 1674 medical staff and trainee students' serum samples were screened retrospectively for Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, Mumps, Measles and Chickenpox. The findings were analyzed by using IBM SPSS Statistics 22 (IBM SPSS, Turkey) program. Descriptive statistical methods, Chi Square and Fisher Freeman Halton tests were used in order to analyze of the data. Results: A total of 1674 people, 636 (38%) males and 1038 (62%) females were included in the study. Of these, 502 (30%) were internships in the health school. When examined in terms of total staff; AntiHBs (86%), Mumps IgG (97%), Measles IgG (94%) and VZV IgG (97%) were found to be highly positive. There were no health workers who were positive for anti HIV and measles IgM. There were 4 anti-HCV positive, 2 mumps IgM positive and 1 VZV IgM positive people. Conclusion: It is important to take preventive measures against vaccination preventable diseases and immunization of the personnel working in hospitals. The results obtained in our study were found to be consistent with similar studies conducted in our country.

“…Sağlık çalışanları ve öğrencilerinin HAV IgG prevalansının değerlendirildiği bir çalışmada, personelin seropozitiflik oranı %92.2 iken öğrenci grubunda %57.5 bulunmuştur (17) . Sağlık programları öğrencileriyle yapılan bir başka seroprevalans çalışmasında ise Anti HAV IgG pozitifliği %15.9 bulunurken, artan yaşın seropozitiflikle korelasyon gösterdiği bildirilmiştir (18) . Ülkemizde giderek değişen yaşam standardı ile birlikte HAV enfeksiyonu ortalama yaşının daha ileri yaşlara kayacağını tahmin ediyoruz.…”

Hepatit A Virüsü (HAV), kişiden kişiye direkt temas veya fekal -oral yolla bulaşabilen akut viral hepatitlerin önemli etkenlerinden biridir. Farklı sosyodemografik tabakalarda HAV seroprevalansı değişkenlik gösterse de, her koşulda sağlık çalışanları risk grubunda yer alır. Bu çalışmada, rutin HAV aşılaması kapsamına girmemiş sağlık stajyerlerinde HAV seropozitifliğinin beş yıllık retrospektif değerlendirmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Sağlık stajyerlerinde hepatit A serolojilerinin retrospektif olarak değerlendirildiği çalışmada, 733 öğrencinin serum HAV IgM ve HAV IgG verileri araştırmaya dahil edilmiştir. Sonuçların yorumlanmasında; 1.0 Sinyal/Cut-off (S/CO) altındaki değerlere sahip örnekler 'non-reaktif', ≥1.0 S/CO değerlerine sahip örnekler 'reaktif' olarak kabul edilmiştir. Verilerin istatistiksel analizinde SPSS Ver.21 programından yararlanılmış, kategorik değişkenler arasındaki ilişki ki-kare testi ile saptanmış; p<0.001 anlamlı kabul edilmiştir. Bulgular: Tüm öğrencilerin HAV IgM değerleri negatif bulunmuştur. Seropozitif öğrencilerin oranı %20 (n=147); pozitifliğin en fazla saptandığı yıl 2019 (%26.9) olmuştur. Kadın öğrencilerdeki seropozitiflik oranı %57.8 (85/147), erkek öğrencilerde %42 (62/147) olup; kadın cinsiyet-seropozitiflik ilişkisinde anlamlı artış izlenmiştir (p<0.001). Sonuç: HAV seropozitifliğinin düşük saptandığı bu çalışmada, sağlık çalışanı erişkinlerin mesleki maruziyet riskleri sebebiyle mutlaka aşılanmaları gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.

“…Cluster 5 and Cluster 7, with the tags "epidemiology" and "psychological" encompass 13 members and eight members, respectively. Cluster 5 focuses on infectious diseases such as H1N1 [59], biological-exposure [60], Ebola [61], TB [62], HIV [63]. Among all the health issues, mental health deserves particular attention, since people would not pay too much attention to it.…”

In the last few years, the occupational health (OH) of healthcare workers (HCWs) has been shown increasing concern by both health departments and researchers. This study aims to provide academics with quantitative and qualitative analysis of healthcare workers’ occupational health (HCWs+OH) field in a joint way. Based on 402 papers published from 1992 to 2019, we adopted the approaches of bibliometric and social network analysis (SNA) to map and quantify publication years, research area distribution, international collaboration, keyword co-occurrence frequency, hierarchical clustering, highly cited articles and cluster timeline visualization. In view of the results, several hotspot clusters were identified, namely: physical injuries, workplace, mental health; occupational hazards and diseases, infectious factors; community health workers and occupational exposure. As for citations, we employed document co-citation analysis to detect trends and identify seven clusters, namely tuberculosis (TB), strength training, influenza, healthcare worker (HCW), occupational exposure, epidemiology and psychological. With the visualization of cluster timeline, we detected that the earliest research cluster was occupational exposure, then followed by epidemiology and psychological; however, TB, strength training and influenza appeared to gain more attention in recent years. These findings are presumed to offer researchers, public health practitioners a comprehensive understanding of HCWs+OH research.
